What Could Cause Rashes And Bump That Bleed On The Chest And Upper Back?
I developed a rash of small bumps that break open and bleed. Suffer SEVERE itchiness and burns. Located on chest, upper back, all around neck and all down my arms as well as welts around waist and back of shoulders...Ive been referred to see a Dermatologist but appt is couple weeks out. I m going nuts. Have taken allergy meds and have tried NEOSPORIN and anti itch creams etc...I m miserable. I also developed bad sores on my breasts that I ve had for close to 3 months. Have tried everything but they refuse to heal or stay scabbed over. Given antibiotic that hasn t helped, and had a culture done that they tested twice but came back unrecognizable. I m starting to think I may have advanced skin cancer and I m really worried. I already have numerous health issues and already gone many rounds with Cervical Cancer. Please help me, Lori

Dear Lori,
Itchiness of the skin is usually related to an allergic reaction. It is treated with an anti-histamine and avoiding the trigger of the reaction. If you are taking medications, one of these medications for example may be the underlying cause of the reaction. Try to avoid scratching the area, since this can lead to infection of the skin. For wounds that are not healing well, it is best to check with your physician.
